--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   1 3/4  lb            Medium shrimp --
                        - with heads & shells
   6      tb            Basic shrimp stock
     3/4  c             Unsalted butter
     1/4  c             Green onions -- minced
     3/4  ts            Salt
     1/2  ts            Garlic -- minced
     1/2  ts            Cayenne pepper
     1/4  ts            White pepper
     1/4  ts            Black pepper
     1/4  ts            Dried sweet basil leaves
     1/4  ts            Dried thyme leaves
     1/8  ts            Dried oregano leaves
     1/2  lb            Mushrooms -- sliced 1/4"
   3      tb            Fresh parsley -- minced

Rinse and peel the shrimp; refrigerate until needed.

Use shells and heads to make the shrimp stock. In a large skillet
melt 1/2 cup butter over high heat. When almost melted, add the green
onions, salt, garlic, ground peppers, basil, thyme, and oregano; stir
well. Add the shrimp and saute just until they turn pink, about
1 minute, shaking the pan (versus stirring) in a back and forth
motion. Add the mushrooms and 1/4 cup stock; add the remaining 4 tb
butter in chunks and continue cooking, continuing to shake the pan.
Before the butter chunks are completely melted, add the parsley then
the remaining 2 tb stock; continue cooking and shaking the pan until
all ingredients are mixed thoroughly abd butter sauce is the
consistency of cream. Serve immediately in a bowl with lots of French
bread on this side, or serve over pasta or rice.
